Franklin Templeton India Sees Return of Foreign Investors When Global Economic Conditions Stabilize
India's Corporate Margins Face Squeeze Amid West Asia Conflict
The ongoing conflict in West Asia is expected to have a significant impact on corporate margins in the coming quarters, as input cost pressures begin to filter through. According to Avinash Satwalekar, president of Franklin Templeton - India, this development is causing a recalibration of earnings expectations for the current fiscal year.
While the conflict poses a challenge to corporate margins, Satwalekar notes that recent selling by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) has had a positive impact on India's valuation. The decline in valuation has improved the medium-term risk-reward ratio for investors, providing a more attractive investment opportunity.
